Namco Bandai usually gets guest artists to make costumes for their fighting games and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is no exception. Tales of Graces f artist Mutsumi Inomata created a costume for Jaycee and comic book artist Simon Bisley made an outfit for Heihachi.

Jaycee’s costume from Mutsumi Inomata

Alisa’s costume from Shigeto Koyama

Anna’s costume from Ito Ogure

Miguel’s costume from Ryoji Minagawa

Kunimitsu’s costume from Katsuya Terada

Heihachi’s costume from Simon Bisley

Tomio Fujisawa, Shunya Yamashita, and Junny created character Tekken Tag Tournament 2 character panels. Players can customize their battle profile by selecting these graphics for pre-fight screens. A new Tekken Tunes mode lets players choose background music for each stage too.

Players can use fight money earned from bouts to buy character customization items like cat paws. Some items can change the aura effect when you strike enemies by adding in things like manga effects.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 comes out for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 11 in North America and September 14 in Europe.

so i know at last how to bring my money up in this game. alright tekkn 5 s logic is back. the same as the cooperative costume. i would like some TALENTED comic pencilers too like jim lee and alan davis. a collaboration with marvel and dc would be nice too for the costumes. jin in a superman costume wouldbe funny.
NOW why can’t they still draw a crotch corrrectly? that jump kick foto took me all the way back to tekken 3′s xiaoyu diaper!

So we get all of the perks of Tekken 6 PLUS Tekken Tag?!(Figuritively.) IM IN!~

And I was expecting this since they did it for the last few tekken games… yet this news STILL blows me away XD The customization is strong with this one. I’m dying to see how Alisa even stands in that awesome outfit.

omeganeko

maybe she hovers with her powers of awesomeness.

A Dream come True! Who needs Tech Jumps when you can HOVER!? XD

Yeah, i’m going to agree with that too. I have a feeling that kicking is going to feel especially satisfying as well lol

Oh, there’s a lot of customization all right. The question is: “Will those make sense?” And considering this is a non-canon Tekken game… it most likely won’t.

It’s so funny how each costume tells a different story. I can easily tell them apart and relate them to the artists who made them, knowing their influences and preferences and whatanot.

Joyce’s, Alisa’s and Kunimitsu’s costumes are the only one that actually feel like the designer did costumes acording to the character personality. The other look way too… out there, and didn’t know Anna was into tentacles…

And Asuka’s anime panel feels so unnecesarely fanservice and out of character… but young Heihachi looks boss, and Alex looks beast (pun intended, ok, I’m going to stop with the bad puns) and Kazuya is all like “you can’t handle this… dude”

From what I remember, these panels are just “cut-outs” from the three sets of character artwork, each set covering most of the entire roster (not counting Unknown) and done by each of the abovementioned artists. So I would think there’s a possibility that we’ll get 3 panels plus the default 3D CG for each character. Don’t quote me on that though.

and i though lars’ outfit done by naruto’s artist was out of place…wow.

Can’t say I recognize Ryoji Minagawa, and that Asuka art… how weird is it taht she’s wearing something less modest than Lili? You’d think she if any would play up her appeal, but Asuka stripping down to a bikini just seems… off.

As for Ogure Ito, ha ha I don’t even know anymore. I think I’ve long come to accept that Oh!Great inhabits a world of his own when it comes to character outfits and storytelling logic, and it’s best just to… let it roll over you. Just let it happen. You may need a shower afterwards, but it still ends quicker if you just submit.

puchinri

Hah! Aha. Hahaha. Yeah. You worded that pretty much how I see it too. Sometimes (most of the time!) his designs, and even story/+ ideas start off reasonable and sensible even, even if quirky and his style. But eventually (sometimes not even after that long), it just gets incredibly “Oh!Great”-ish and that’s all that can be said about it.

Göran Isacson

Hey hey, puchinri. Did you know? Air Gear… is about rollerblades! No fooling! And do you know something REALLY weird? Tenjo Tenge is about street fights between school punks! No I swear, it’s the truth =3

puchinri

. . .w-wait. . . WHAT!?

But I thought the point of Air Gear was to eventually unveil how great Obama is and how ridiculous Oh!Great can make designs, and that Tenjo Tenge was about perverted losers as fake-real main characters and ghost nudity travelling!? ;A;

Could it be that. . . my reality is a LIE!? TTATT

Göran Isacson

And now all I can think of is how Air Gear will end with Obama and ikki rollerblading into the sunset, while high fiving.

And then they travel through time to, I dunno, be righteous in every era ever. It is the only way this manga can possibly end right now.

puchinri

Exactly. Man. Oh!Great will have disappointed me greatly if this doesn’t happen now.

Ogure also did a costume for Lili last time, right? Interesting that he did one for Anna this time~. Honestly, given his tastes and style, I think his costumes are definitely suited more towards characters like Anna (and characters that are legal, ahem).

Lovin Mutsumi Inomata’s design too. It’s ridiculous in such an awesome way. I really love Koyama and Terada’s designs too. Glad to see artists I like making costumes for the game~. Again.
